Having lunch with my old co-workers every Thursday is always good. Our conversations are always filled with wisdom and laughter, the company is great and to top it off the choices where we choose to eat is just as excellent. However today Mr S, did make a groundbreaking comment that I never took note of. He was saying that even though you have a girlfriend and may have been together for 3-5 years, it still means that you’re single, because you’re not married or anything and as far as the government is concerned, you’re still a single person. I guess that’s why the marriage process helps to unify the two people together and that you can then tick the married status box.

Horrible Horrible comment may I say. You are not single when you are in a “committed” relationship. A piece of paper does nothing to confirm your love, loyalty, and committment for one another. Yes, its nice to be married and go thru the whole ordeal. But ultimately there is more that binds a relationship together. I can go on and on but currently working..so more to come if I’m still worked up on the topic.

I think that you are merely LEGALLY single, but that is it. I agree with the comment above mine; just because you don’t have the papers to prove that you’re married doesn’t mean you’re single.

Yeh I was trying to state that he meant in the eyes of the government.
